Carbon Monoxide (CO)

NIST-Traceable Carbon Monoxide (CO) Calibration Gas: Certified reference standards for span calibration and daily bump testing of personal gas badges, multi-gas monitors, parking garage ventilation transmitters, and boiler combustion analyzers. Available in disposable steel and lightweight aluminum cylinders with standard C-10 and CGA-600 connections.

• Certification: NIST with Certificate of Analysis (CoA) available via QR code on Cylinder Label
 
• Standard Mixes: 50 PPM, 100 PPM, 250 PPM, 500 PPM, 1,000 PPM (Balance Air or N2) • Cylinders: 17L, 34L Steel, 58L, 103L Steel, 116L Aluminum (C-10 5/8"-18 UNF & CGA-600 valves) • Hardware: Compatible with brass and stainless fixed-flow (0.5 / 1.0 LPM) and demand flow regulators

Life Safety, OSHA PEL & Facility Monitoring

Carbon Monoxide is an invisible, odorless chemical asphyxiant produced by incomplete combustion. Routine sensor calibration verifies compliance with OSHA's 50 PPM Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and NIOSH recommended thresholds across warehouses, enclosed parking structures, boiler rooms, and confined spaces.

Balance Gas Selection & Analyzer Compatibility

Balance Air vs. Balance Nitrogen: Electrochemical sensors in personal safety monitors (Honeywell BW, MSA, Industrial Scientific) generally calibrate accurately with either balance. However, optical/infrared sensors, stack testing equipment, and combustion analyzers (Bacharach, Testo, UEi) often require precise Air or Nitrogen backgrounds to prevent cross-interference.
